\nIt’s not everyday that I share a new video from a new 3DS eShop game, unless it’s a breathtaking or a highly anticipated new title.<\/p>\n

The game in question is an interesting new title called Dillon’s Rolling Western: The Last Ranger<\/em> and follows what looks like an armadillo as he battles rock creatures as well as other various creatures all in a western theme.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The game somewhat reminds me of the film Rango, which was released in 2011 and featured a wide variety of anthropomorphic animals in western movie-like roles.<\/p>\n

Dillon\u2019s Rolling Western: The Last Ranger<\/em> is an action tower-defense game which combines the strategy elements of Dillon defeating enemies with weapon emplacements that players can deploy around the map, and the action elements of Dillon directly attacking opponents with flashy action moves like rolling attacks and claw slashes.<\/p>\n

New to “The Last Ranger<\/em>,” Dillon can recruit new allies by battling and defeating them throughout the game. There\u2019s the strong but greedy lizard gunman Gallo, the foolish but powerful bear Boone and the mysterious squid assassin from the East Sea, Nomad. In addition to keeping villages safe from harm from the waves of approaching enemies, Dillon must now also protect a train that moves throughout each of the game\u2019s main stages. Players now have more strategic options to consider, but can share tips on how to clear stages with others via StreetPass.<\/p>\n

The game will be released in the eShop in Japan on April 10th and will retail for 2,000 Yen. It will be released in North America on April 11th and be rated E-10, though no word on the price.<\/p>\n

Also included in the Nintendo Direct video was a new series of AR cards featuring Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Koopa and Goomba. There was no mention of these cards hitting North American shores either.<\/p>\n
